348 READING OX THE STATUTE OF USES. 



benefits of vouchers, aid-priers, actions of waste, trespass, 

 conditions broken, and which the feoffees might have had ; 

 and this is expressly limited for estates executed before 

 May 1, 1536. And this proviso giveth occasion to intend 

 that none of these benefits would have been carried to 

 cestuy que use, by the general words in the body of the 

 law, scilicet, that the feoffee s estate, right, title, and pos

For the two provisos on the part of the tertenant, they 

 both concern the saving of strangers from prejudice, 8cc.

 a use, and what not ; and what persons may be cestuy que 

 use, and what not j and what persons may declare a use, 

 and what not.

 may be seised taketh in his natural body, and to some purpose as a com

 before he took upon him the crown, had, after he was king, 

 by his letters patents granted the land over, the uses had 

 not been renewed.
